This book contains devotions intertwined with poetry, praise, short stories, and scripture. I believe all can be used for teaching and praising God. My goal is to touch the reader's heart and mind. This is my first book to be published with a second nearly done. There are basically four main themes included in these writings: 1 - Our covenant relationship with God, both personal and national. 2 - Reminding readers that we are blessed to be a blessing to one another. 3 - You will find many stories of Easter, Calvary and being reborn. 4 - I believe God has a pathway for each of us to follow. This pathway, laid out before we were born, is God's direction for our lives should we choose it. May you find hope, peace, growth and blessing as you read and possibly journal your thoughts. The author, Jerry Kluver, was born in rural Minnesota where you still can find some Minnesota nice. He grew up on a family farm along with five siblings and his parents. Presently Jerry is a retired construction worker. He started writing small stories and poems when he was a young man, and has continued through the age of seventy. After much encouragement from those reading his work, he decided to have some of his stories and poems published. His wife of nearly fifty years gets the credit for providing correct spelling and grammar for his work. My prayer is that my words might touch you and inspire you to be all you can be for Christ. Having no formal training, Jerry believes his words are gifts from God and God should be given the glory for them.
In a vision, James saw a group of people fervently travailing in prayer. They were weeping and crying out with loud voices. It looked like something good and righteous, but in this case it was coming from a religious spirit. James heard the Lord saying, "Many of my people are not praying correctly. They are begging me to do what I have already promised to do. There is no faith in a prayer like this. Teach them to pray differently. Teach them to find my promises, accept them by faith, and then activate them in their lives and ministries." In this text, the secret key will be clearly revealed to you. You will then be given very specific steps for you to receive and activate all the promises of the Lord. All of these wonderful promises and spiritual blessings are gifts from the Lord available to you right now. James has served in ministry for more than 55 years, including 13 years as a pastor and church planter and almost 30 years as an active duty army Chaplain. James retired from the military at the rank of Colonel. In 2010, James and his wife, Gloria, transitioned from pastoral ministry in order to write, teach seminars around the world, and mentor many spiritual sons and daughters. James is a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas with a Master's degree in Theology.

People are difficult and relationships are hard. Mistakes can be life lessons or catastrophic events which change a person forever. Humanity in itself is a broken system. People want to be loved, accepted, and forgiven. We all need love and support. We all need a place to call home. The mind will search to quench a thirst that cannot find a drink. Is there a hope for this broken life? There is hope, he is a person, his name is Jesus. He knows everything about you; he will forgive you and redeem you. There is nothing in life too disappointing, awful, or frightening for him. As you turn the pages of this book, you will read stories of Jesus. You will see him move in a life no different than yours. There is hope. Six years ago as I struggled through a variety of issues, I realized I needed a lot of intervention. I had developed habits that were unhealthy. I was frustrated and angry. My fight with rejection was real. I needed the truth. I turned to the Lord because he is the only person I knew understood my innermost thoughts. A journaling process led to a deeper relationship with God. I began to take every situation to him. I shared what I was learning in our life group. One of my friends suggested that my journals should become a book. It was a six year process. My name is Mychelle Simms. I live a simple life. I am a wife, mom, teacher, sister, and friend. I love the people in my life. My hope is this book will find its way into the hands of those who need love.
I want to show christians it's ok to dream big. To have peace and prosperity. And most important I want to show them thru the word of God.I picked scriptures that talk about abundance, prosperity, wealth, success, a wife and I picked scriptures that talked about christian characters one needs to be blessed like honesty, forgiveness, wisdom, faith, courage, hard worker, trusting God, imagination, obedience, and love. I am a 70 year old Mexican American. I was born in Los Angelos, California on November 15,1952. I've been a Christian now for about 33 yrs as of today 12/15/2022. Me and my wife Jeannine are buying our house and we have a new f-150 truck but I believe we live in poverty according U.S. standards. In 2020 we decided we are going to work our way out of poverty. In 2021 God gave me an idea to write this book. I've never written a book before in my life. I believe we all have gifts, talents, and strengths inside of us all that we don't know we have. But we have to be obedient as to what God tells us and step out of the boat. God's plans for us are better than our plans.

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump - Gal. 5:9 There is a great need for the true church in every generation to examine her message regarding what she proclaims as God's truth. The unalterable nature of truth brings with it the tremendous task of preserving it from the leaven of error, lest it becomes an utter falsehood while having a form of godliness. While truth will remain unaltered, we will believe a lie. I came to America for work in the year 2000 by the providence of God. A land that rose to world dominance because of those who established her on their knees and reflected the truth "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" - Psa. 33:12. As a Christian, this was the land of many spontaneous revivals that had shaped her, such as the Great Awakenings, and known for its abundance while being a beacon of truth and freedom. I saw America as a standard for Biblical Christianity that she propagated worldwide in the 21st Century. Years went by, and I was caught up in the greatness of her religion in proclaiming Christ to the world; IN GOD WE TRUST her motto. But then, the doubts began to appear. A proclaimed truth, but is it the truth of God, or is it the product of popular religion? A popular Christ, but is He the God of the Bible? Are we One Nation Under God or A Nation Under Divine Judgment? This is my story... Jabez Abraham is the founder and president of Desiring Revival Ministries, a ministry to further the cause of revival and make God known to all generations and to all nations. The inception came as a call from God, burdening him in 2005 with the need for genuine revival among God's people and the nation. Since then, God has seeded that burden with a desire for God's people to return to Biblical Christianity, which is not just a theory or theology but something vibrant and authentic, as exhibited in the book of Acts.

Blood gives the body life. Jesus Christ's blood gives the soul eternal salvation and life. The fundamental, powerful realization behind this concept found in author Anthony (Tony) Powell's book, I AM DRENCHED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST: BLOOD BOUGHT, BLOOD STAINED, BLOOD WASHED, begins when we become aware of the dramatic difference between being drenched, as opposed to merely sprinkled, with the blood of Jesus Christ. God wants us to be entirely drenched in the blood of His Son, until His Spirit and breath course through our veins like blood itself, supplying us with the true power, authority, and strength of the Godhead that dwells in all of us. Powell's graphic image of salvation contained in this inspirational book aims for the goal of providing readers with complete awareness of the precious price Jesus Christ paid at the cross so we all can "plead the blood," and access redemption. This redemption was given the exact moment that Jesus Christ's blood was spilled, effectively drenching us all, washing our sins away, and buying our eternal salvation. Pleading the blood of Jesus Christ is a statement of our faith about what happened at Calvary, and offers us true baptism into the Holy Spirit's power, authority, and everlasting love for mankind. Within this blood baptism, our spirits are effectively prepared to deal with any of life's challenges and spiritual warfare we will face. Anthony (Tony) Powell gave his life to Jesus Christ in July 1999. In His Image Christian Ministries (IHICM) ordained and commissioned him as an Elder to teach and preach the word and to administer the sacraments, ordinances and other church functions. He serves at IHICM in various capacities such as Elder, Teacher, Evangelism and Scholarship Ministries. He is also a faculty member and a Prophetic Presbyter of Bishop R.S. Walker Ministries School of the Prophets. Additionally, he is the author of I Am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.

Better Together will walk you through the lives of Esther, Ruth and Naomi, Mary and Elizabeth, and Hannah. Many books have been written about these women of the Bible, but I want you to look at these stories through a different lens. I want you to see how these women were able to accomplish incredible feats because of the other women in their lives. Women who undergirded them, walked with them, stuck with them, and prayed with them. Women who helped and pushed them to accomplish God's will for them and helped them become examples for us today. I hope their stories will inspire you and help you be an example to someone else. I'm an avid reader, an amateur cook, and a wanna-be writer. I love trying new recipes, learning new things, and sharing everything I know with anyone who will listen. I'm the mother of three adults and Ya Ya to six little ones. Some of my favorite past times are spending time with my grandkids, watching movies, or spending a leisurely day drinking coffee. I have been an office manager, an administrative assistant, and a real estate agent, but most days, you can find me studying (mostly God's word) and writing books.
The author reflects on the awful memories of her past and shows readers how God's glory and mercy has healed her of her pain, forgiven her for her sins, and restored her to the woman she once was. Manuscript's Strengths - Within the manuscript, the author retells various traumatizing and tragic experiences of her life both in Jamaica and America. The honesty with which the author tells these stories evokes feelings of compassion, anger (toward her abusers) and sadness for the author. When an author is able to pull emotions from readers, readers become more immersed in stories and the author as a person; the author of this text accomplishes this. - Further, the love and devotion the author has for God and her faith is readily apparent in this manuscript, and this becomes wholly inspiring to readers as they progress through the text. Readers see how despite all the awful, brutal experiences the author has, she has been able to forgive, ask for forgiveness, and receive His mercy. Again, this is wonderfully encouraging and inspiring to readers, and any reader who can relate to the author will be uplifted and comforted by her words. - The conclusion section of this manuscript is wonderful. The language and message within this chapter is beautifully and powerfully written. The author reiterates the intended message(s) for the manuscript and pulls from Scripture to show how God is with His children even in the darkest of time. This chapter efficiently and gracefully closes the book with a send-off to readers that acts as a catalyst for action on their part, calling readers to open their hearts to Christ, no matter their history.

A Book About Life, Love, Loss and the Lessons Learned Along the Way, Dawn Smith Jordan recounts her life's journey thus far, re-telling the real-life stories out of which some of life's simple truths have been learned. From those lessons, songs were birthed that God has chosen to use for over thirty years of ministry. This is a book about the faithfulness of our Father through some unexpected turns in the road, and about His all-sufficient, sustaining grace. "Although we may not be able to choose our life's circumstances, I am convinced that we always have a choice with how we respond to them. Though life is all about change, much like the seasons, it is a journey well worth walking, as God's grace has brought us thus far, and His grace will lead us home."

What does the five-fold ministry have to do with the four horses of the apocalypse? How do relativity theories explain Biblical stories? Are there hidden patterns in the Old and New Testaments? What did Jesus mean when He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life?" Awaken To takes the reader on a journey searching for a better "way" of truth and life by solving mysteries in an ancient manuscript - the Bible. The author looks at stories, symbols, and numbers to show how patterns of words and ideas are evident throughout the Bible. Looking at patterns can uncover hidden messages, secrets, and revelations in Biblical stories. These revelations allow us to grab hold of scriptural truths with a new perspective on what they meant long ago and how to use them in today's world. Debbie Anderson is the founder of the Way Institute. The purpose of the Way Institute is to seek the "way" of Jesus by taking a closer look at the words "the way, the truth, and the life" spoken by Jesus and applying these words to the issues of today.

NOW BEING WRITTEN UPON MY HEART is about the author's salvation, backsliding and problems with mental health resulting from disobeying God. Like the Children of Israel who backslide from God after being delivered from slavery in Egypt, the writer himself backslide soon after accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. He "quit church", stop reading his Bible, and stop obeying the word of God. Since God chastens those whom He loves, the writer began feeling the hand of God in time and he repented. Through the prayers of his parents, shock treatments with medication, and group therapy, he recovered from stays in a mental hospital and returned to God. No longer neglecting God and His ways, God's word in now being written upon the author's heart because he obeys God now. Jerry Daniel was born in Oxford, NC.
